COMBINED SAW SET, GAGE, AND BAKER-GUIDE.

SPECIFICATION forming part Of Letters Patent NO. 345,791, dated July 20, 1886.

Application filed July 30, 1885. Serial No. 173,067. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MAURIoE LALONDE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Oscoda, in the county of Iosco and State of Michigan, have invented a new and useful Compound Saw'Set, Saw-Gage, and Baker- Guide, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in saw-fitting and saw-setting tools, in which is combined in one tool a saw-set, sawgage,and raker-guide, providing for a certain uniformity in the set of saw-teeth and equality and uniformity in rakers in crosseut-saws; and the objects of my improvements are, first, to provide for a practical combination of a saw-set, saw-gage, and raker-guide in one small handy tool; second, to afford facilities for procuring a uniformity in the set of the teeth of crosscut saws, buck saws, handsaws, and other saws of similar construction; third, to provide for an equalization of the length of the rakers in a erosscut-saw. I attain these objects by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which-- Figure 1 is a full-faee view of the compound tool as it rests when placed over the rakers of a orosscutsaw and the slotted steel plate 0, through which the raker projects when the tool rests on the saw, also the screw-driver F as it is when adjusted and held in place when not in use. Fig. 2 is an edge view of the compound tool, showing the stock of the tool slotted at A, the rubber plate P, placed between the steel plate 0 and the back of the tool,also

screw E. Fig. 3 is a full and correct view of the back of the compound tool, and is the back and opposite of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a full view of the edge of the compound tool back of and opposite to Fig. 2, showing the stock of the tool slotted at D, the projection L, the rub ber plate P, as in Fig. 2, and screw N.

Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

jointed. The steel plate 0 is a smooth surface, over which the file passes while jointing the rakers. The plate of rubber P is placed between the middle of the tool and the steel plate O. Said rubber plate P is used instead of a metallic spring to raise or lower the steel plate (J,by means of the screws a a, to suit the required length of the rakers. Screw E, by being turned in or out,determines the amount of set when placed, together with the projecjections J and K, against the side of the saw, leaving I on a level with the point of the tooth. Screw Noperates in the same way,in conj uetion with the projections M and O, in determining the amount of set in buck-saws, handsaws, and other like saws. Slot D, being smaller than slot A, is designed to be usedon smaller saws, while slot A is designed to be used in setting crosseut saws only. Projection L serves the same purpose in determining the extent and amount of set in small saws that I does in crosscut-saws.

b I) b I) represent openings, affording lightness to the tool, and facilitates contraction and expansion of rubber plate P.

NVhat I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The compound tool herein described, comprising the stock slotted at A, D, and B, and having the projections, as shown, plates 0 and P, screws E N, a a, and H, and the screwdriver F, substantially as described.
